DearComrade Huysmans,

Pleaseforgive me the delay in replying. A number of circumstances
prevented me from writing to you earlier.

Thetranslation of the Programme of the Russian Social-Democratic
Labour Party which you sent me is, in my opinion, far from
perfect. However, my own knowledge of French is so inadequate that I cannot
venture to under take to correct the translation. Comrade Charles Rappoport
(of the journalLe Socialisme[1]) has kindly agreed to do this work. He will
edit the translation and I hope to be able to send it to you soon.

Asregards the meeting of the International Socialist Bureau, I vote
for November.

Mynew address: Mr. Wl. Oulianoff4. Rue Marie Rose. 4.Paris (XIV).

Accept,dear comrade, my most friendly greetings.N. Lenin
